[quote=Anonymous]I would definitely ask if you can tell your DH first. My DH is not at all homophobic, but I did ask (and receive permission) to tell him in advance. Yes, it's possible not to know. We did not know- our son has social anxiety so we viewed a lot of his behavior through that lens without considering other possibilities. I was very surprised when my son told me, and in fact the first thing I said was "really?" Not in a judgmental way but out of shock. I quickly pulled myself together and followed up with "That's fine, we love you and want you to be happy. If you want to talk further about it let me know." I knew my husband would be surprised and doesn't always react well or quickly to anything he didn't predict (positive or negative). I wanted to be sure he was ready with the right words when my son spoke with him. [/quote]
